I've got the best job.  I get to figure out how to make these crazy stunt ideas that the producers come up with look as scary, as high, as gross, as deep, as fast, as dangerous as possible.  The way I do that is by making
sure that there are many different camera angles shooting the stunt.  The problem is, because it's a game show each contestant only gets to do the stunt once.  So I have to get all those angles of them at the same time! That's a whole lot of cameras to watch and pay attention to simultaneously.

Then, when we edit the show, I work with the editors to pick the best moments of all those shots to make each show as entertaining as possible. We add music to give each stunt a certain mood, and finally in "the Mix" we add
tons of sound effects to make the stunts sound as good as they look.  So turn it up on Tuesdays at 8 and enjoy the new season!
